Brother Shota

Best Known For

Crispy eggplant with apple miso, crushed sesame seeds, chives and apple miso glaze.

Fun Japanese fusion dishes await at Brother Shota on Victoria Avenue in Albert Park. On balmy Melbourne days, sit streetside and people watch or head indoors and catch the action from a window seat, where and bright and breezy vibe of white subway tiles, whitewashed walls and dark timber set the scene for inspired dining from a modern menu with plenty of surprises. Wrap your hands around a pork katsu bao to start with crumbed pork loin, pickles and shiso tartar, or tempura popcorn prawns and creamy spicy mayo; before sous vide Angus beef short rib, sticky BBQ and teriyaki sauce glaze and sriracha salt. Perhaps pork tan tan ramen hits the mark with soft-boiled egg, Naruto and mustard leaf, in rich creamy sesame and chilli broth; or delve into grilled salmon teriyaki don and rice.
